YWIM Recording Project:

Over the winter/spring of 2008 producer Lynn Miles & engineer Christine Church were flown to Whitehorse to work with Yukon music community. They hosted a series of music-based workshops and recorded 12 YWIM members at Old Crow Recording, creating our newly released CD Tether, Hooks and Velcro.

How the album came about:

Women throughout the Yukon were invited to submit a demo of a song they had written to be considered for the CD. A half hour of free studio time was provided for women to record a rough demo to submit. The submissions were considered by an outside jury and 12 songs were chosen for the compilation CD. The women who wrote these 12 songs then worked with Lynn & Christine in the studio to create a fully produced album.

The album is named Tether, Hooks & Velcro after one of the songs on the album by Lara Lewis. YWIM released the CD in November of 2008 at the Yukon Arts Centre and is currently touring the album throughout the Yukon.
